It seems Estes doesn't want to re-live the past, only focus on the future. Many here in Hampton Roads are wondering, though, how we move forward if we don't know what happened in the past to fix it? We ask Estes if he is learning from the mistakes of his predecessors, and if those in the organization are still going to be held accountable for the pothole debacle.

Hampton Roads drivers still have trust issues with VDOT, so how can Estes overcome that? It will be a long, uphill battle, especially with the claims process where hundreds were turned down by TME Enterprises for their pothole damage, and with VDOT not being proactive to avoid disasters in the past. See what Estes has to say about will change, and what won't change, going forward.
